mackhomie -> RE: Mechanics/position of the ring finger's (a) last joint (Nov. 15 2021 2:18:43)

Thank you for the lengthy response, and thank you Ricardo for the link. watching it now. kinda funny, a bulerias of Jason's (and a couple of the old time flamenco players) were the reason I sold my electric and got into this whole thing nearly twenty years ago. I've been seeing you guys on here for what feels like that entire time, but that could be my memory playing tricks on me. Nice to finally interact with you, in any case. This was an interesting response, as I'd been expecting to hear that it was entirely wrong for some reason that would seem obvious after I heard it. I have tried the ramp on both sides of this particular finger and it seems to dictate which of the two attacks will be required. at the moment, I have it shorter with a normal ramp and am keeping the joint bent, but it nearly feels just a little too long until eventually, it's too short and practicing suffers for a couple weeks. I'll come back and edit this after I watch the video Ricardo provided, but perhaps one of you guys could answer one more question I've had for ages w/o me cluttering up the main page, which is:. why is a low string action considered so beneficial with respect to rasgueados specifically? with the thumb anchored on the low e, as it often is, couldn't it be almost anywhere since the right hand motion would be the same regardless of whether it was 1cm off the top or 1 foot? Thanks, fellas.
